About the Item
Johann Baptist Kreitmayr (1819 Munich -1879 Ebenda)
View of the Doge's palace in Venice, 1848
Oil on canvas, 35.4 x 28.5 cm - with frame, 47 x 40 cm
The painting under consideration depicts a glimpse of the facade of the Doge's Palace in Venice, the Porta della Carta (the monumental entrance to the palace) that connects the building to St. Mark's Basilica and part of the basilica itself, observed from the Piazzetta that flanks the large St. Mark's Square and overlooks the Venetian lagoon.
The German artist of the first half of the 19th century masterfully took up the pictorial genre of Veneto vedutismo, a typically 18th-century phenomenon that found the epicenter of its development in Venice. The first Venetian view with a certain date, by Gaspare Vanvitelli, is from 1697, and the earliest datable ones by Luca Carlevarijs are from 1703, while the death of Francesco Guardi in 1793 and the last days of the Venetian Republic in 1797 mark the end of the production of this genre of painting. There is no shortage of views of Italian cities with earlier dates (such as Gentile Bellini's Procession in St. Mark's Square and Vittore Carpacci's Miracle of the Relic of the Cross at the Rialto Bridge, both dating from around 1500).
We can consider the genre of Italian vedutismo a "creature" of Vanvitelli (1652-1736), who, of Dutch descent (Gaspar van Wittel), trained in the Passi countries and then moved to Rome: from 1680 he made drawings and paintings of Roman views, traveled to Naples, Florence, Bologna and Venice. Following Vanvitelli's trip to Venice, the artist Luca Carlevarijs (1663-1730) also began to try his hand at producing views.
In the 1720s a new stage in the development of Venetian vedutismo began with the appearance of Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto (1697-1768). While the paintings of his predecessor Carlevarijs are highly decorative, richly colored and basically linear, Canaletto's paintings, such as St. Mark's Square to the Basilica (1723, now in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid) the figures and details of the buildings are subordinate to the atmosphere. While Carlevarijs figures betray provenance from individual sudi, Canaletto seldom resorts to these means: his figures blend with the environment, the sunlight, the cloudiness, the atmospheric representation, the busy characters, everything is conceived according to the effects of light on things.
Other great names in the genre include Michele Marieschi (1710-43), whose works are characterized by a rapid and lively brushstroke; Bernardo Bellotto, Canaletto's nephew and among his most fruitful pupils; and, finally, Francesco Guardi (1712-93) who, although he began his career as a specialist figure painter, would later devote himself extensively to this genre, making light and atmosphere the protagonists of his works, thanks to Canaletto's teaching.
The vedutistic experience of the Venetians would have direct continuation in nineteenth-century painters, such as Giovanni Migliara (1785-1837) or Renato Borsato (1927-2013), to the point of influencing the art of painters of European greatness, of the magnitude of John Constable (1776-1837) or Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875).

- Pair of landscapes Painted by Antonio Francesco PeruzziniLocated in Milan, ITAntonio Francesco Peruzzini (Ancona, 1643/1646 - Milan, 1724) Rural landscape with river and village center Rural landscape with river and tower (2) Oil on canvas, cm 108 x 62 Expert opinion Prof. Emilio Negro Recognizable in the present pair of paintings is the hand of what Mina Gregori called "the most original and path-breaking landscape painter to emerge in the late seventeenth century," namely Antonio Francesco Peruzzini. Finally identified by Arslan in 1959 as such a "Perugino," author of a St. Sebastian in a private Milanese collection, Peruzzini has in recent times been reevaluated from his former qualification as a mere subordinate of Lissandrino (Alessandro Magnasco), in comparison with whom he turns out to be an excellent coadjutor and original landscape painter. A distant mountainous horizon, of frozen vigor, is proposed in both canvases interspersed with a spindly tree in the background that screws swirlingly to the sky. The anti-academicism and nonconformism that characterized Peruzzini's entire career appear evident here and justify in retrospect his choice of such figurative collaborators as Magnasco and Sebastiano Ricci...Category
